Welcome to Indigo Inklings. This is where I talk about some of my rubber stamping projects and digital graphics. My blog name comes from the fact that I love the color indigo, and I think the notion of inklings covers my introspective side as well as my love for getting inky with my projects. I hope you find something here to interest or inspire you.

More spring happiness

I needed to make a card today that had bright, sunshine-y colors since it's gray here. Now at least it's not actually raining, but I still wanted to make something upbeat.

The border design was made using my Fiskars Lacy Days of Summer border punch. I just offset the two colors for a different effect. I also used the same border punch to accent the corners of that smaller layer. Dunno why it hadn't occurred to me to use my border punch that way before. It's an easy enough trick if you use the punch upside down so that you can see exactly where you're punching.

The images are by Rhonna Farrer/Autumn Leaves and were stamped using the Kaleidoscope Melon inkpad. I embellished the images and the punched borders with Diamond Stickles.

About Me

I'm a midwesterner who loves to read and garden. I grew up in Missouri and am still there some forty odd years later. I've been married to a wonderful guy for 22 years and am a stay-at-home Mom to two girls, who keep me on my toes while they dance on theirs. My current interests include digital photography and digital graphics, in addition to rubber stamping and card making. I also have a two year old buddy who keeps me company while I do all of this.
